HEALTHCARE AND MEDICINE VOLUNTEERING IN INDIA

Β 

Health and health care need to be distinguished from each other for no better

reason than that the former is often incorrectly seen as a direct function of the latter.

Heath is clearly not the mere absence of disease. Good Health confers on a person or

groups freedom from illness – and the ability to realize one’s potential. Health is therefore

best understood as the indispensable basis for defining a person’s sense of well being.

The health of populations is a distinct key issue in public policy discourse in every

mature society often determining the deployment of huge society. They include its

cultural understanding of ill health and well-being, extent of socio-economic disparities,

reach of health services and quality and costs of care. and current bio-medical

understanding about health and illness.

Β 

Health care covers not merely medical care but also all aspects pro preventive care

too. Nor can it be limited to care rendered by or financed out of public expenditure within the government sector alone but must include incentives and disincentives for self

care and care paid for by private citizens to get over ill health. Where, as in India, private

out-of-pocket expenditure dominates the cost financing health care, the effects are bound

t be regressive. Heath care at its essential core is widely recognized to be a public good.

Its demand and supply cannot therefore, be left to be regulated solely by the invisible had

of the market. Nor can it be established on considerations of utility maximizing conduct

alone

OUR VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIA

 

The KIVOLEX Global Health Project

When you work with The KIVOLEX Global Health Project in New Delhi, you’ll help an NGO whose mission is the advancement of the disadvantaged. Here, you’ll provide volunteer support for simple medical and health-related check-ups and tests. You may also work with professionals to provide care for the elderly who are either abandoned or living with disabilities.

 

VOICE FROM INDIAN COMMUNITY

“The children’s English has improved and they are noticeably happier and more confident when working with volunteers.”

“The impact is really positive because it is the English language which keeps the children as candidates for mainstream educational programs. Every child has benefited by attending these classes with the volunteers.”

“When our students get the chance to interact with people from foreign countries, their desire to engage motivates them to learn English in order to share their thoughts and feelings with the volunteers. They understand that the volunteers accept them with their disabilities. This really improves their confidence and brings happiness in their life.”
